The S.C. Judicial Department proved today that there is
enough to share! Supreme Court Justices, Court of Appeals Judges, and SCJD
Staff dug deep into their wallets and pantries to help feed the hungry and
support their favorite team. The real competition will be determined
tomorrow on the field in Clemson's Death Valley, but you would never have known
it today!

Employees arrived early to unload bags of canned goods and
other food items. Competition was fierce as the food was weighed and
boxed. At 2:00 p.m. Chief Justice Toal held a special news conference to
announce the winning team.

Carolina won with their fans contributing 9,731 pounds in
goods and donations. Clemson fans raised a total of 7,741 pounds.
The grand total was 17,472 pounds!

As part of the celebration, Justice Toal, the Gamecock
team leader, and Dan Shearouse, the Clemson team leader, agreed to model the
other teams colors if their team lost. Today Dan tried on the Garnet and
Black, but here and there in the crowd of staff members could be heard those
words so often associated with the Clemson-Carolina rivalry - "WAIT UNTIL
NEXT YEAR!"
